"So instead of eating Lan Yin Huixi Dan, you're switching to eating Blue Silver Grass roots now?" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "Then I'd rather just eat Lan Yin Huixi Dan."
Looking at the vine in Xiao Yan's palm, Xiao Xue said seriously, "Rongrong, this vine isn't that simple."
"How come I can't tell?" Ning Rongrong tilted her small head, examined it carefully, then pouted.
Xiao Yi's elegant purple eyes blinked lightly as she had already seen the clue.
This was a soul tool.
Xiao Yan didn't bother with suspense and explained directly, "This isn't an ordinary vine. Like the Liuli Sword in your hand, Rongrong, it's a second-generation soul tool. However, it isn't an offensive soul tool, but an auxiliary one."
"It has the same characteristics as Lan Yin Huixi Dan. It contains an enormous amount of energy. As long as it's fused into your body, it can serve as an auxiliary dantian."
Ning Rongrong exclaimed in amazement, "That powerful?!"
"If that's the case, even though our soul power level doesn't increase, with continuous recovery, wouldn't our total soul power already be no weaker than that of Soul Elders—or even Soul Kings?"
Meng Yiran nodded deeply in agreement. Such a soul tool was simply too great an improvement for them.
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "That's not entirely wrong. For you, it is indeed a huge improvement. But you already possess martial arts, which makes you stronger than ordinary soul masters. Without sufficient combat experience, however, you're merely holding powerful strength without knowing how to fully use it."
"I've decided that starting tomorrow, you'll head to the Soto City Grand斗魂 Arena to participate in real combat. This includes you as well, Yanzhi."
Yanzhi, who was wearing a red dress, was startled when Xiao Yan suddenly called her name. She raised her hand and pointed at herself blankly."Me too? Actual combat? But I haven't learned Xuantian Gong yet."
Xiao Yan smiled gently. "Don't worry. You'll be participating in team battles, and you won't necessarily need to fight."
"For now, you only need to familiarize yourself with your teammates' soul skills and understand the abilities of powerful soul masters. That way, future cooperation will be smoother. And once you've seen enough, you won't be caught off guard when facing strange soul skills in real battles."
Only after hearing Xiao Yan's explanation did Yanzhi pat her fair skin in relief.
Thankfully, she wouldn't actually be fighting.
With her current eleven levels of soul power, she was no match for the soul masters in the Grand斗魂 Arena.
Putting away the blue-gold vine, Xiao Yan continued to Yanzhi, "Since you haven't cultivated Xuantian Gong yet, you can't use this type of soul tool for now. Once you learn it, I'll condense one for you as well."
"I understand, Hall Master," Yanzhi nodded slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "With our current strength, even fighting Soul Elders poses no pressure at all. Does participating in battles at the Soto City Grand斗魂 Arena really have meaning?"
"Of course it does," Xiao Yan nodded decisively.
"The purpose of real combat isn't how many opponents you defeat, but how you can win battles with the least possible consumption. Improving your combat experience—that's the real reason I'm arranging these fights."
"Having strength is just the foundation. Knowing how to use that strength properly and fully unleash it is what turns power into real combat effectiveness."
Truthfully, Xiao Yan also wanted to find a group of Soul Elders, Soul Kings, or even Soul Emperors to act as sparring partners for Zhu Zhuqing and the others—but the conditions simply didn't allow it.
"Go back to your rooms and rest. Tomorrow night, you'll be facing a hard battle." Even though he had taken a short rest after creating the village rooms, Xiao Yan still felt quite exhausted.
The bathroom was filled with misty steam.
Leaning against the edge of the pool, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and enjoyed Xiao Xue and Xiao Yi's service, while pondering the further development of the Soul Hall.
The Soul Hall used him as its pillar. His own strength had to become as powerful as possible for the leaders of other families and forces to truly acknowledge it.
He still needed to keep improving.
Three paths lay before him:The first—continue adding soul rings.The second—delve deeper into martial arts.The third—seek out strong opponents for battle.
Of the three, the second was too slow. As for the first and third, whether Ten-Thousand-Year soul beasts or Title Douluo-level soul masters, neither were easy to find.
Moreover, he still needed to train Rongrong and the others.
His hand gently stroked Xiao Yi's purple hair as Xiao Yan roughly formed a short-term plan.
Over the next month, Rongrong and the others would participate in real combat to improve their experience.
After one month, they would head to the Sunset Forest near Tian Dou City. After helping Rongrong obtain her third soul ring, they would go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and see whether Sect Master Ning had any news about the Clear Sky Sect.
After that, he would arrange for Rongrong and the others to stay temporarily at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while he himself would head to the locations of the three great soul beast forests to search for soul beasts of Ten-Thousand-Year level or higher.
He would raise his own strength to its peak first.
Within the steamy, heated mist, purple hair floated atop the water. Xiao Yi slipped beneath the surface, her tender fingers gently massaging Xiao Yan's stiff arm, easing the fatigue in his body.
Xiao Xue wasn't idle either. She stayed beside Xiao Yi, leisurely eating eggs.
She hadn't eaten her fill at dinner.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps caught Xiao Yan's attention.
The instant he opened his eyes, he saw three graceful figures.
They were none other than Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Meng Yiran.
All three were wearing delicate swimsuits.
Their beautiful faces were purer and more tender than usual, appearing softer and more refined. Their slender waists could be grasped in one hand, full yet bonelessly supple. Their skin was smooth like jade—delicate, fragrant, and fair—like the finest crystal-clear mutton-fat white jade.
Their waists were as soft as willow branches. Below them, long, well-proportioned snow-white arms were enough to make one's heart flutter. Their pale, tender legs shyly intertwined, postures alluring, their curves full, smooth, and captivating.
Xiao Yan said in surprise, "Didn't I tell you to go rest? Why are you here?"
Hearing someone arrive, Xiao Xue hurriedly sped up her secret late-night snacking and climbed out of the water together with Xiao Yi.
"You still haven't given us the soul tools," Ning Rongrong said as she leapt straight into the bath.
Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing followed her in.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was the youngest among them, her figure was exceptionally proud.
Tall and slender, with a willow-thin waist that could hardly be grasped in one hand, she had more than enough capital to be proud of—especially her long, firm legs. From bottom to top, they bore the unmistakable marks of the creator's craftsmanship.
Xiao Yan raised a hand to rub his forehead."So that's what this is about. I originally planned to give them to you tomorrow."
"Since you're this eager, then I'll plant the Blue Silver Runes into your body right now."
